FBI: Several Houston locations investigated for illegal gaming, 'potential connections to corrupt public officials'

FBI sources said 15 Houston locations were raided.

HOUSTON — FBI Houston conducted investigations at several locations in the Houston area Tuesday.

Federal law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation told KHOU 11 that authorities were at 15 locations in the south Houston area raiding illegal gaming operations “with potential connections to corrupt public officials.”

Air 11 flew over one location on Broadway Street where several law enforcement vehicles could be seen in the parking lot of the Boadway Center, which appears to be an outdoor strip mall.

FBI Houston said there was no public threat and the investigations could take hours.

FBI Houston worked with the Harris County Precinct 1 Constable’s Office, Harris County Fire Marshal’s Office, the U.S. Marshals Service, Houston Fire Department, Houston Police Department, and Harris County Sheriff’s Office in the raids.

This story is developing. KHOU 11 Reporter Troy Kless is on the story and will have more details as they become available.
